Just finished installing both files, no issues. I'm accustomed to clearing all data before and after each installation, so didn't have any issues. I made a quik vid of my experience:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1_CcEWSwMM

A few things:

1) Coming from VEGan 5.1.1, it's rather sluggish. Even after about 6 reboots.

2) The camera takes pics much quicker than VEGan, I like it.

3) didn't come with a filemanager :-(

4) Would not play Samurai 2. Since i feel its a benchmark of how well the ROM works, it a downer for me.

5) Market works and was able to download File Manager

Thanks for video!

Any ideas why Samurai 2 not play?
[G Tablet Android Development] g0t0:
Thank You!

none whatsoever. works with VEGan 5.1.1 and the gADAM builds (just did a vid on the Adam one).

Whats up playa? Glad to see you over here and that you're not homeless:). I love my G-Tab so I would say yes, you made a good choice. Looking forward to see what kind of apps you come up with.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thanks for the feedback. I will look into the cons you had.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Just wondering, have you tried the game on any other Gingebread Rom?
[G Tablet Android Development] aboad20:
Are You using AOSP or CM for webkit ?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I used a Browser fix from CM webkit to stop the browser from force closing

This is by far the best gingerbread rom, and I am loving it. Making me love my tablet all over again.
[G Tablet Android Development] bielo:
Maybe this an isolated incident but it will not pick up wifi tether. Prior to this rom I've used vegan builds and never had an issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] itoig:
I would be fine with 5 minutes, but after 30 minutes, I don't think it will ever boot
[G Tablet Android Development] Jesse6749:
I had a weird issue were my tablet went into a hot restart boot loop for no apperent reason, I went into recovery mode and wiped the cache partition and delvik cache then flashed Clemsyn's GB V8 kernel and now the rom is running smoothly again and no more hot boot loop :D
[G Tablet Android Development] DeaconBoogie:
Tried this three times now, no dice.

Brand new tablet.

Reformatted to 2048.

Followed numerous instructions in posts on this thread, formatting, clearing cache, etc.

Stuck at "ANDROID" every time. Currently on attempt number 4, clock is at 6 minutes and counting.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Everyone stuck at Android screen, try using nvflash to get back to stock then install CWM and try again.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thank you for that. I'll add that to OP.
[G Tablet Android Development] danny727:
I

tryed

to use my zpad dock for HEMI out and it doesn't work, it's very grainy with bad colors. It worked great on tnt 4.x. x. So I know the dock is ok. I also had the crazy boot loop but just did a long power hold a few times till I got the white vewsonic screen and all was well again.

Thanks again for your work here TJ. Great Rom :)

darn auto correct
[G Tablet Android Development] ykhehra1:
The browser takes websites to mobile versions automatically, even after trying different user agents in settings like android, desktop etc. What i am missing?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
It will be fixed in the next release

I seem to be having trouble installing Google Apps. I install the zip through CW without any error, but when I boot up there is no change. What am I missing?
[G Tablet Android Development] fierogt5spd:
Hi, I have a couple of questions.

1. Does this rom support the dual core processor, or is it only using 1?

2. Is there a VPN client built into it? (my DroidX has one and I was just wondering). If not, what app is best for this from the Market?

Thanks, I am looking forward to trying this Rom.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I can answer #2 for you. You have to run Pershoot kernel which has loadable module which supports tunnel, cifs and other useful features which makes this tablet quite useful.

I do believe that roms do support dual core processor.
[G Tablet Android Development] GreenScrew:
Noob here just got my G Tablet, followed the ClockworkMod install instructions and all worked great. But it wasn't clear to me how to get the Market working. Sort of put it together that I had to install GAPPS.ZIP just as you would the ROM itself. After doing that so far looks GREAT! Now the fun begins...

Just posting this in case a noob like me stumbles at the same point. Just need to follow up the ROM flash with the GAPPS flash.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Update!!! Check OP for details
[G Tablet Android Development] nrage23:
Does this have hardware video acceleration ?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
not yet....
[G Tablet Android Development] Archangel:
Does anyone know if this does like most other roms and disconnect the wifi when the tab goes to sleep?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I never had that problem
[G Tablet Android Development] feeble11:
Just trying out the new version 2.2. Coming from 2.1. Loading from built in flash. Partitioned 2GB/256MB

Doing the install from CWM 0.8, I wiped data / cache / dalvik.

The progress bar gets about 20% of the way across and halts with this error:

E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/[

E:Failure at Line 4

symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/[

Installation aborted.

Tried it twice with the same result.

I tried it again, downloading the ROM directly to my GTab (not sure what difference that would make but someone claimed it helped on a different ROM)

Again, the progress bar gets about 20% of the way across and halts with this error:

E:Can't symlink /system/bin/sh

E:Failure at Line 3

symlink as SYSTEM:xbin/sh

Installation aborted.

Any ideas?

Thx!
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Try Format System.
[G Tablet Android Development] feeble11:
Are you suggesting this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=974422

and then use NVFLASH to go back to stock and then to your 2.2 ROM?

Last time I did format / nvflash, I ended up bricking the tablet badly.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
No. In Clockwork go to mounts/storage and there is a an option to format system.
[G Tablet Android Development] drizzt5:
Really nice effort!!!

A little work and maybe it will be as smooth as vegan tab.
[G Tablet Android Development] mb2k:
I had to do this as well, worked fine. Still no screenshot via Screenshot ER or DDMS. Is there something specific to this ROM that prevents this? The question has been asked several times in this thread but no response.

Anyone??:confused:
[G Tablet Android Development] feeble11:
Thanks. That did the trick. Another thing learned today.

One last thing. Do you have any tips for getting a bluetooth keyboard and mouse working? I get them to "paired but not connected" and downloaded an app from the market called bluetooth keyboard. That gets them to connect sort of but it seems to connect and disconnect sporatically.

If you can help get that solved for me, it's worth not one, but TWO Gatorades. :D

Thx!
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
You think so? I am not taking anything away from Vegan, but this rom has made me love my gtablet all over again. Very nice rom indeed.
[G Tablet Android Development] Pazzu510:
Very nice update 6/04/2011.

Loving it so far.

The only thing i do not love that much is the use of emmc and SD.

With this configuration, the tab gets dependent of the SD because it installs everything there and the internal storage is harder to access.

Any way to change this?... maybe have two roms with the same characteristics but different ways to mount for people to decide?

Far from that, very stable, very clean, snappy, and more. I think this is my favorite rom so far and my daily driver for sure. XD
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Agree with you there. I think we took step backward in my opinion by calling sdcard emmc. There is fix where you can mount emmc as sdcard in terminal window.
[G Tablet Android Development] Pazzu510:
XD, any guide or reference, i am very intrested....:D

Edit: Add: ANy of you has problems with the lock screen, i have a tiny lock screen as if my device was a cellphone. XD Maybe it is from vtlauncher or from this rom. Plase anyone confirm.

edit2: NVM, fixed itself upon reboot.

What did you do to fix samurai 2? Can the fix be applied to an existing install? I am running kornyone's vanilla aosp whih had the same wierd samurai 2 issues.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
You need to edit vold.fstab in /system/etc.

Check this post for my setup: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12549938&postcount=149

You should be able to change vlod the same way in this rom as in the vanilla version.
[G Tablet Android Development] Pazzu510:
gonna try that.

BTW: you seem to know abot scripts and how they work on the g tab, if you can, please help me with the problem in my signature. I would be thankful for ever because my problem is a pain in the A%$·. XD

XD, now emmc mounts on usb. TNX
[G Tablet Android Development] gitit20:
Very nice rom looks like it will be nice once all the bugs are out i have a question though i did what the OP said to install all that went well the 2 files i boots fast and all but its up and i can not see my internal storage whats the deal with that did the install not go well i was using vegan tab and have it backed up i can restore that and all is good but this does not see even after a full wipe and reload

Thanks for any help in advanced :) very smooth running
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Im going to put something together so people can flash so they can chose their own sdcard configurations.
[G Tablet Android Development] chadness:
That will be nice, thanks!

One thing - I've noticed the accelerometer is messed up in some games. I assume this is the known issue with this tablet I've heard mentioned in the TNTLite threads? Is it possible to get a fix for that, or is it too much of a hack?
[G Tablet Android Development] manfly9884:

[G Tablet Android Development] Pazzu510:
This is going to be good, i really love this rom.

I want to but a transformer, and i have to say that this rom+vtlauncher make me think it twice. Really good stuff here. :D

Current version is 2.2
[G Tablet Android Development] chadness:
To be clear, 2.2 is the version of G-Harmony, not the Android version. 2.1 was the original that he posted, 2.2 is the update from 4/6.
[G Tablet Android Development] chadness:
Guess I needed this morning's coffee to kick in. Just now realized that my Titanium Backup stuff was not showing up because of the SD Card changes. Is the only way to be able to restore to change the eMMC and SD Card back? I couldn't find any way to change the location in the Titanium settings, only the folder name.
[G Tablet Android Development] manfly9884:
Will this erase the contents from my tablet?

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] manfly9884:
Sorry. Mental block on my part.
[G Tablet Android Development] chadness:
This will erase all of the system files. User data won't be affected (that's the format data option), nor will anything on your emmc or SDCards.
[G Tablet Android Development] manfly9884:
Thanks alot
[G Tablet Android Development] ellessidil:
Any possibility of getting a mirror for the files, I have nothing but problems with Mediafire and serving up bad files?

(I get alot of bad downloads from them, such as with this download, its a 82mb file, and Mediafire serves me a 175kb file instead)
[G Tablet Android Development] bschrib:
I had the same problem -- Use Firefox 4 to get proper downloads from Mediafire.. Will even render their obscenely annoying page correctly.

If you can't find it in the Market...

http: / / ftp.mozilla.org / pub / mozilla.org / mobile / releases / 4.0 / android-r7 / multi /

(Sorry for the spaces, I'm a n00b and the system has no love til after 8 posts. :( )
[G Tablet Android Development] e-motion:
Just flashed the rom and gapps after a complete wipe but i am not able to add my google account, it just sits there... internet access is fine. Any idea?
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
This is what I have done for my tablet to get /mnt/sdcard for the internal card and USBdisk for emmc for external SDCard.

Mount your system partition read/write using either gscript or in telnet session using following command in your telnet window.

mount -rw -o remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

then goto

cd /system/etc

change the permission of the file vold.fstab in system/etc folder with changes below.

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1

dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.3/mmc_host/mmc2

dev_mount usbdisk /mnt/usbdisk auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci
[G Tablet Android Development] manfly9884:
ROM and GAPPS flashed with no problems but could not get market to work, would not load. Re flashed again and did all the wiping and formatting procedures, no dice.

Gave up for now.
[G Tablet Android Development] GreenScrew:
I had the same issue, ended up trying out VeganTab (just got the Tab on Tuesday so I need the the flashing experience anyway) but I'll be back as soon as someone can sort out what needs to be done to get the internal memory mounted again. I'm too new to droid hacking. I definitely like the look of this ROM a lot. Market is very good. Vegan is very nice and fast/smooth but less "candy". The soft keys (back, home, menu) would be a huge win if they were added to this ROM so you can navigate in the dark.
[G Tablet Android Development] huntar:
Gee... did it have to be this hard?

+1 for nvflashing back to stock, reinstalling CWM and flashing for those that get stuck at the Android screen... it worked for me first time after fiddling with it without this process for several attempts.

Now to see what works and what doesn't :)

EDIT: Why does my WiFi die every time I flash a new kernel?!?!? it has done it with both pershoot's and clemsyn's kernels. Wifi will not even turn on, it just says "error". Am I doing something wrong? I put the kernel on my storage, reboot into CWM and flash it, then reboot - is there anything else to do? I really want to use this ROM, but the tedium is killing my soft n00b hands... I already have to load kernel modules just for CIFS and NTFS...
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Try clearing dalvik cache and maybe running fix permissions from within cwm recovery after a kernel flash. I always mount system data and sdcard before fix pemissions, not sure if that's needed or what.

Also make sure you are using gb versions of the kernels.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Or install root explorer and just edit the file on the tab and reboot. either way works :D
[G Tablet Android Development] Blades:
Why oh why must we call something that is not the sdcard.. sdcard.. Do you understand the performance hit of choosing to read/write from one device instead of two?

the 'sdcard' is one partition of one device.. the other partition of that same device is our data partition..

I have another question tho.. Whats preventing us from using ext3 on our system partition? I don't think its an issue of nvflash not supporting it, is it? Given a 3.0+ recovery image.. would it be possible?
[G Tablet Android Development] Blades:
yeah.. you're doing it wrong.. :) kernel/module mismatch.. Flashing pershoot's kernel on a CM7 based gtab rom is silly because the CM7 repo uses pershoot's kernel.
[G Tablet Android Development] chadness:
That may be why it's being referred to as eMMC now.

Though the speed issue is debatable. If you're using a good class 10+ SDCard, it might be faster, but if you're using a slow cheap SDCard, that might slow you down more than having the throughput going through multiple channels. Which reminds me - I really need to buy a decent SDCard. :D
[G Tablet Android Development] Pazzu510:
I dont mind about speed or anything. The only thing that matters for me is that external apps dont install things in my sd, where i have all my work and important documents. Also, some apps like sniffer(from notion ink) reads sd as internal, and making it emmc just makes it useless to read the internal storage.
[G Tablet Android Development] huntar:
trying again tomorrow

OK, I will be trying to flash again tomorrow taking into account the replies I have gotten so far (thanks btw for the quick and useful replies). Just a couple of notes about my issues.

1. ROM is flashing ok now with the nvflash back to factory and reinstall of CWM.

2. I was flashing pershoot's latest kernel (and clemsyn's, too) to get the modules for CIFS and NTFS working. If there is an easier way to handle kernel updates in this ROM I am all for it... I'll do some searching if no one pipes up.

3. It seems odd that I had the same issue after flashing both kernels... I will be following the steps that were suggested to me.

Thanks to all the devs that do this stuff and to all of the people on the forums that offer their help.

EDIT: Not going well today... keep getting the reboot and "erasing MSC" message, can't get past it no matter what I do. About to try Calkulins format and this ROM one more time and if it doesn't work I will have to push the "more patience" button and get GB ROMs once they mature. Thanks for all the suggestions
[G Tablet Android Development] f2k031:
I got the error "can't symlink" then got struck at gtablet screen. I mounted USB, copied Vegan and back to functionality. I will wait for the Harmony to get stable

You got that error while trying to flash right? Try Format System under mounts and storage. Then wipe data. After that, flash the Rom.

questions

thinking bout switching from vegan tab to this build. now my questions is if this build based off of the cm7 with the honeycomb tweaks? and if so do I just flash this as a regular zip through cwm? I read about these cm7 tweaks here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002000

they even have a link for g tablet but since it was a nook color forum I was a little iffy. anyway any feedback would be greatly appreciated
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
No this isn't based off CM7. I did see the tablet tweaks and I'm not sure not if I'm going to add them to this Rom. I'm still undecided.

No wireless through adhoc network

This is useless to me if I can't tether it through my phone or laptop. I really like the feel of this rom just can't use it without adhoc network access.
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
so grab a gingerbread rom that has an adhoc capable wpa_supplicant and root explorer it in. Would you like some cheese with that whine? Took me all of 5 minutes.
[G Tablet Android Development] pitamakan:
I've been flashing ROMs like crazy for the last week or so, and this one is definitely my favorite ... it's smooth, and very solid. Thanks!

To make this my regular ROM, there are just a couple things I need to figure out:

1. I need to sort out the sdcard/emmc issue, which seems to be crucial for at least some apps (like dolphin HD, which loses gesture support, and Gmail, which can't download attachments). I've read the instructions above to fix that, and will give it a shot ... but a script or some other way of automatically solving that in the future would be a big help.

2. When I plug in a USB cable, I get the ability to go enable debugging, but not to mount the gTab for file transfers. Will fixing the emmc issue also solve that? If not, what can I do?

3. Though I like the look of the standard GB notification bar, I'm really missing having the device buttons on the notification bar. Is there an app or some other method to get them up there? Something like the current CM7 implementation?

Thanks for any ideas, and again, many thanks for a great ROM!
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I fixed the USB issue. I will post a fix for it tonight.

As far as the soft keys. I can't decide if I should do the soft keys like Vegan or if I should do something like the "Tablet Tweaks" that was just added to CM7. What do you guys think?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I'll try to add it in on the next release.
[G Tablet Android Development] pitamakan:
Cool! Many thanks.

I really like the functionality of the CM7 tablet tweaks ... the problem with them is, at least IMHO, that the soft keys in CM7 kind of look like crap. They'd look much better if they looked like they were part of the notification bar (even if that's not how they function). Just giving them a black background would probably help a whole lot.
